Why eBay?
Since its inception in 1995, eBay Inc. has become one of the most popular store platforms online. It remains one of the biggest platforms to sell merchandise online. Here’s why:
- Every year, eBay attracts more than 180 Million buyers from around the world.
- Over 25 million people sell on eBay.
- Last year, eBay made over $22.6 Billion dollars worth of sales.
- There are over 12 billion listings on eBay making it an eCommerce giant.

When eBay began, it was more of a place to sell used or collectible items but with the rise of print-on-demand, the number of stores selling brand new items on eBay has grown tremendously. Today, 81% of eBay listings are brand new items.
eBay is undoubtedly one of the largest eCommerce platforms we have today.

If I pay for shipping on Printify do I also pay Ebay. PLease explain how shipping works. Is it included in the price when I select an item to design? THank tou
Hi Marie,
When a customer submits an order in your connected store, your store receives the payment consisting of the product retail price (production price + profit) and the shipping fee.
Then the order is automatically imported into Printify and sent to production according to your order approval settings. However, since Printify can’t pull funds directly from your sales channel, Printify charges your linked credit card or your Printify balance with the production price of the product and its shipping fee.
To sum it up: your customers buy from you, and you buy from us.

Will ebay ship my order out to who purchases?
Hi Trevick,
If your eBay US store is properly connected to Printify, then yes.
Hi Elina,
Thanks for being here for us.
Erik asked a question that I also have. It is not addressed in the documentation you referenced.
How about a timeline of what happens and what we are required to do?
Something like:
1. Customer orders product on eBay
2. Customer pays for product on eBay
3. Seller gets a notification from eBay that a purchase has occurred.
4.
5. eBay sends the order to Printify
6.
7. Printify sends the order to production
etc.
Thanks for the help… you guys do a great job!

Hi Timothy, Elina here. 🙂 Yes, your sequence is right. -> Once the print provider has fulfilled the order, you will receive the tracking number and the order will be automatically shipped out.
In case you need to make any changes in product, like, size or design, it is possible once the order syncs with Printify, but has not yet been sent to production.
Can I add the stock from my Shopify store to my eBay store without having to recreate all of the products?
Will this suspend my eBay account if I integrate?
Hi there!
New account suspension is quite common, nevertheless you can get it reactivated by simply verifying eBay your identity. Once account is reactivated you will be able to publish listings and process orders as usual.
Here is eBay article on what actions to take if your account has been suspended.
My eBay store is connected to my Printify. I get sales on eBay, so what now. Is the rest of the process fully automated by Printify, or do I have to handle shipping process?
